    I assumed that we are talking about workstations where user do something stupid or a SNMP service on a machine responsible to send out tens of thousands of mails. In these described scenarios I'd rather have a automated restart. And, you may setup a utility to only restart the service twice - if it fails again, a manual restart has to be done.

    That may depend on the Security officer ;-)
